GENRE: Mystery / Noir / Neo-Noir / Experimental / Essay

After his last mission ('The Cypher') the private philosophy investigator IVAN JOOHNSSON loses himself in an identity crisis vortex of absurdity. With the HEISENBERG COFFER in his luggage he's driving directionlessly into the Nothingness, until he arrives in the secretive city called BETAPOLIS, where he discovers mysteria through the barkeeping actress KARINA VON GADOT. Dark guises are after him. Now... Is the mystery a philosophically exaggerated phantasy of his mind or does it really exist?

my part: Writer / Director / Editor / Colorist (Remastered Edition)

 

GENRE: Documentary / Essay

 

The concentrated critical power of Wolfgang M. Schmitt: the unique German film critic with taste, style and a razor-sharp mind. Especially nowadays, film as art needs a program of intellectual pervasion, aesthetic awareness, critical reflection, as well as historical classification. Like no other, Wolfgang M. Schmitt stands for this countercultural anti-Marvel gospel!

ZWIEWELT XS
[Experimental]

my part: Writer / Director / Editor

 

GENRE: Comedy / Horror / Theological Movie

A friendly old, exiled ex-movie diva is visited by two missionaries who enter her living room and try to win her over for a doomsday faith community. The whimsical lady seems helplessly at the mercy of the two whippersnappers, until they stumble through a momentous revelation...

GENRE: Experimental

The principle of "Stream of Consciousness": Associating instead of rationalising! Back to the roots of cinema with ZWIEWELT XS: The journey, the perception, the spectacle. How does one get from the idea of the world as a dream illusion to film as a dream, from the philosophical to the poetic penetration of the world? From the Cartesian "I think, therefore I am" to the cinematographic "I film, therefore I am"? Oh yes... and there was Godard, who once cheekily claimed to need only TWO THINGS for a complete film... So it's the intoxication of filming and thinking. A screen as mirror of the world and an evil deceiver demon as a thought manipulator. Only a meditation of Renatus Cartesius can help!

THE LOST LUSTRE 2
[Short Film]

my part: Writer / Director / Editor / Actor

 

GENRE: Poetry / Drama

The night always has a high price. The cost of past love is even greater. DUDE, MAN, LADY and RANDOM DUDE want to know. In a nocturnal trip inspired by the French poet Baudelaire, they confront their innermost desires and repression strategies of their own hearts.

ARTISTS UNLIMITED ULTD. | A weekend in the artists' vault [Short Documentary]

NASTROVJE! NOWGOROD! [Eisenstein Battleship Potemkin Mash-Up]

my part: Director / Cinematographer / Editor

CATEGORY: Artist Portrait

With the artists, there's always something going on in there! Art, bric-a-brac and consorts come here fully on their and at full cost. One day it happened... EVA FUNK / SHPRESA FAQUI / MARIA STURM were present artistically and in the flesh. This film makes the appropriate audiovisual confession. Enjoy it. But don't groove too hard.

my part: Director / Editor

 

GENRE: Experimental / Collage Film

 

A collage of attractions in 2 acts. Experimental contribution as an amalgamation of the montage concepts of the heyday of Russian silent film and the ethical problematisation of the pictorial (iconoclastic) glorification of heroism, pathos, propaganda & war. Not intended as moralising, more as opening up an open cultural and aesthetic space of thought. Screened at the "Bielefelder Nachtvisionen" 2017.
